In other words, I need a streaming way of accessing the metadata. To me, I think that means that either there is some place in the SAX api where I can get the metadata for the current subdocument (attributes in the DIV element?) or there is a point in time in using the SAX api where I can query a metadata object and know it only contains metadata for the current subdocument (get the current metadata object from the parse context at the time startElement is called for a new DIV?).
